This method enables the buying agency to better value quality, while also being minimally influenced by price in case of price uncertainty.\nFurthermore the tool helps buyers to build a scoring formula, using visualization as a means of communication instead of math. Tender teams surrounding the buyer using this method, but also the targeted tenderers in the market experience the method as very transparant."]

["Market dialogue","A dialogue with the market before the procurement process begins can help identify innovative solutions or new products or services which the public authority may not have been aware of. It can also assist the market in meeting the criteria which will be applied in the procurement process, by providing information about the public authority’s expected requirements. However, the market must be approached in a way that ensures respect for the principles of transparency and equal treatment, avoiding disclosure of privileged information and/or privileged market positions. Where a candidate or tenderer or an undertaking related to a candidate or tenderer has advised the CA, or has been involved in the preparation of the procurement procedure, the CA must take appropriate measures to ensure that competition is not distorted by the participation of that candidate or tenderer in order to avoid its exclusion from the tendering procedure. Pre-commercial procurement (PCP) and the competitive dialogue procedure, introduced under Directive 2004/18/EC, offer greater opportunities for public authorities to engage in market dialogue. Market dialogue is a form of market research in some but not in all cases, e.g. advance notification of a tender, or feedback are parts of dialogue but not research."]
["Market research","When determining what to buy, estimating costs, and before developing selection and award criteria in a procurement procedure, it is often helpful for purchasers to understand the market.
